Mario, Sonic and You at the Olympic Games
Nintendo DS Lite players can now participate in the 2008 Olympic Games. That’s certainly not a false statement. But let me complete my statement by specifying that Ds Lite players can participate by playing one of the characters in the game ‘Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games’. I really didn’t mean to break your heart by telling the truth. But I am sure that even this piece of news has made you ecstatic, now that you can load this game onto your DS Lite. It is the first official video game of the 2008 Summer Olympics games.
The backdrop of the game shows the actual venues of the Olympic Games which is to be held this year in Beijing. There are a total of twenty events in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS), which are divided into eight different classifications: athletics, gymnastics, shooting, rowing, archery, aquatics, fencing, table tennis and boxing. The game play involves utilizing a combination of the stylus and button controls on DS Lite to complete each event, which may require speed, timing and strategy.
The player can assume the role as one of these characters while competing against the other characters in numerous Olympic as well as fantasy events. So get ready for some real Olympic action on your DS.
